A brief interlude from our usual weirdness to bring folk up to speed. We’re looking forward to the second outing of Occult Detective Quarterly<\/strong>, and here’s some official news.<\/p>\n

We’ve had terrific reviews for Issue One, and a whole raft of new submissions for the next few issues. In fact, we’ve had more stories than we can possibly print, so there is fierce competition for space. Sam Gafford<\/strong>, the old reprobate John Linwood Grant<\/strong> and Dave Brzeski<\/strong> have been reading around the clock, assisted by our professional readers. And they’re getting there.<\/p>\n

\"occult<\/a><\/p>\n

The magazine is planned to go to layout in early April, with printing at the end of the month – if the batteries hold out on the electric pentacle. Occult Detective Quarterly Issue Two should therefore be available to purchase (and for despatch to subscribers), in early May 2017<\/strong>. This time, the print edition should be available to purchase through Amazon as well, as ODQ expands its distribution.<\/p>\n

Note: The eformat version of Issue One is now available as a packed pdf from Electric Pentacle Press. Click the link on the right-hand sidebar to get your copy.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here’s a more detailed look at what you can expect in Issue Two. Note that this is only what we’ve picked out so far, though we expect to have at least nine<\/strong> thrilling new stories in the final magazine.<\/p>\n

FICTION<\/h1>\n
\"mutartis<\/a>

We have another exciting and different blend of fiction this time round,\u00a0 from the Edwardian period to the present day.\u00a0 And our protagonists range from Brandon Barrows’ classic occult detective Thomas Carnacki<\/strong>, through Steve Liskow’s Deputy Sheriff Pamela Ironwood<\/strong>, to Kelly A Harmon’s Assumpta Mary-Margaret O\u2019Connor<\/strong>, to name but three.<\/p>\n

Already planned to appear are:
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

The Arcana of the Alleys<\/strong><\/span><\/span> by Brandon Barrows. <\/strong>A younger Carnacki the Ghost Finder gets himself caught up in the affairs of opium lords in Boston, Massachusetts, and finds an unlikely ally.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Black Tarot<\/strong><\/span><\/span> by Mike Chinn. <\/strong>A series of cursed papyrus fragments, and a Tarot deck, lead occult adventurer Damian Paladin into danger.<\/em><\/p>\n

Light from Pure Digestion Bred<\/strong><\/span><\/span> by Kelly A Harmon. <\/strong>A demon-marked woman and her rather dapper (but hellish) companion discover that something on the menu of a Baltimore coffee shop may not be as agreeable as it looks.<\/em><\/p>\n

Death and the Dancing Bears<\/strong><\/span><\/span> by Steve Liskow. <\/strong>When grisly death comes to a carnival, one of the police officers involved must draw on her Native American background to search out the truth.<\/em><\/p>\n

Grabberman<\/strong><\/span><\/span> by Tim Waggoner. <\/strong>A psychologist who know the Dark only too well must come to the aid of a young woman whose nightmares threaten to become real.<\/em><\/p>\n

ART<\/h1>\n

We’ve been very fortunate with our artists once again, and expect to be showing off the work of illustrators from the United States, the United Kingdom and Argentina. As last time, some of the B\/W interiors are being produced exclusively to illustrate stories in the issue.<\/p>\n

Cover<\/strong><\/span> by award-winning artist Alan M Clark,<\/strong> who <\/em>greydogtales interviewed last year concerning both his art and his dark historical fiction.
